Always seen but never heard,
Silence is a lonely word,
In lonely silence,
sitting on the shelf.
How I yearn to be picked up again.

Sad to sit on the shelf
Time goes by and we never can get it back. So shelf sitting should not be encouraged for long periods of time. Heart broken? Get back into the game; be surprised how many lovely people are out there looking for a fine new person to love. Your last line sums it up real well. Good luck. -
wow. So... you're saying that you're like a book on a shelf. Except the book is loneliness, or the person that you're missing? Wow, I'm not sure if I'm getting it right, all I know is that I love it. Just so amazing!
